Audi is upping the SUV ante at the Detroit auto show with a muscle-bound, all-wheeling machine, the 2014 SQ5.

This is the first Audi ute to get S treatment in the United States. It packs a supercharged 3.0-liter V6 pumping out 354 hp and 347 lb-ft. That prodigious output enables a sprint to 62 mph in 5.3 seconds en route to a top speed of 155 mph.

The powerplant works with an eight-speed automatic gearbox and quattro all-wheel drive. Other S enhancements to the Q5 include a lowered chassis, and badging and sporting mods to the grille, bumper and roof spoiler.

The chassis is lowered 1.18 inches. The SQ5 rides on 20-inch wheels, with 21s available as an option.

It arrives this summer in U.S. dealerships.

In Europe, Audi offers an SQ5 with a diesel powerplant, making about 313 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque with a turbo six-cylinder, which also hits a top speed of 155 mph.
